Cultural Competency

A culturally competent mental health system includes skills, attitudes and policies that make sure the needs of everyone are addressed in a society of diverse values, beliefs, orientations, different races, religions and languages. It is a system that improves the quality of care for all of Tulare County’s many different peoples and provides them with understanding and respect for those differences. Hope Horizon Mental Health is responsible to provide the individuals it serves with culturally and linguistically competent specialty mental health services. For example: non-English or limited English-speaking persons have the right to receive services in their preferred language and the right to request an interpreter. If an interpreter is requested, one must be provided at no cost. People seeking services do not have to bring their own interpreters. Written and verbal interpretation of your rights, benefits and treatments are available in your preferred language. Information is also available in alternative formats if someone cannot read or has visual challenges.

Hope Horizon is required to:

  • Provide specialty mental health services in your preferred language.
  • Provide culturally appropriate assessments and treatments.
  • Provide a combination of culturally specific approaches to address various cultural needs that exist in Tulare County to create a safe and culturally responsive system.
  • Make efforts to reduce language barriers.
  • Make efforts to address the cultural-specific needs of individuals receiving services.
  • Provide services with sensitivity to culturally specific view of illness and wellness.
  • Consider your world view in providing you specialty mental health services.
  • Have a process for teaching TYSB employees about what it means to live with mental illness from the point of view of people who are mentally ill.
  • Provide oral interpretation services free of charge. This applies to all non-English languages.
  • Provide written information in threshold languages, alternative formats, and in an appropriate manner that takes into consideration the special needs of those who, for example, are visually limited or have limited reading proficiency.

Trauma Informed

Trauma-informed mental health services are a way of providing mental health care that acknowledges the role that traumatic events can play in a person’s life and in the development of mental health disorders. This type of care is based on the understanding that a person’s past experiences, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, can affect their current mental health and coping strategies. Trauma-informed services involve creating a safe and supportive environment, providing education on trauma and its effects, and using evidence-based treatments to address the individual’s needs. The goal of trauma-informed care is to empower individuals to heal and to build resiliency so they can move forward in their lives
